1 Samuel 16:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For God does not see what man sees, for a man looks on the outward appearance,^[a] but Yahweh looks on the heart.”^{[b] 8} Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel, and he said, “This one also Yahweh has not chosen.” ⁹ So Jesse made Shammah pass before Samuel, but he said, “Yahweh also has not chosen this one.”
